Woodall's Campground Data Now on Board Rand McNally RV GPS Devices

Rand McNally and Good Sam team up to provide premier campground information to new and existing device owners

SKOKIE, Ill., April 5, 2012 — (PRNewswire) —  Just in time for the spring RVing season, Rand McNally has added the Woodall's campground directory into its top-selling TripMaker® RVND™ GPS devices. Woodall's, part of the Good Sam family of RV clubs, community and publications, is North America's leading source of campground information for RVers and campers.

With the addition of thousands of Woodall's reviewed campgrounds and amenities, the TripMaker® RVND™ devices now feature more than 250,000 RV-focused locations, such as campgrounds and RV service centers, as well as millions of additional general points of interest.

"A year ago, Rand McNally introduced the first GPS device developed specifically for RVers and campers, and the response has been exceptionally strong," said Dave Muscatel, CEO of Rand McNally. "The addition of the Woodall's information provides RVers with a leading source of vetted campground data that no one else provides in a GPS device."

Two weeks ago at The Rally in Phoenix, Rand McNally employees demonstrated the Woodall's information integrated in the TripMaker® RVND™ device. Those RVers who saw the demo gave it high marks. In particular, they raved about the depth of information, the ability to filter by campground amenities, and the option to review Woodall's ratings and campground costs.

With the addition of the Woodall's campground data, TripMaker® RVND™'s RV campground feature now includes:

RVers can find campgrounds and route to them by address, or by latitude/longitude. The Trails feature allows a trail to be recorded and played back, enabling a return to a campsite when traveling on unmarked roads.

Not only is the Woodall's information being loaded into new devices, but existing TripMaker® RVND™ device owners can download the data for free via the Rand McNally Dock. The Rand McNally Dock is a software interface (via a computer with an open internet connection) that enables Rand McNally device owners to update, back up, and download content to their GPS units. For more information about how to download the Woodall's content, TripMaker® RVND™ owners should go to randmcnally.com/campgrounds.

Rand McNally's TripMaker® RVND™ GPS units are available at Camping World SuperCenters nationwide, at CampingWorld.com, at RV dealers and at select retailers and online sites.
